Police fire tear gas at Lagos residents protesting Makoko demolitions

There was tension in Lagos on Tuesday as police fired tear gas at residents protesting the demolition of homes in the Makoko waterfront community and other parts of the state. Members of the Makoko community, alongside activists and sympathisers, had gathered to condemn ongoing demolitions and forced evictions they say are displacing thousands of people, including women and children. The protesters marched with placards, chanting against what they described as inhumane and unlawful demolitions, and calling on the Lagos State Government to halt the exercise. They accused the authorities of extending demolitions far beyond previously agreed limits along the powerline corridor and of carrying on without proper notice, compensation or resettlement plans. Trouble started when security operatives, including officers of the Rapid Response Squad, moved in to disperse the crowd. Witnesses said the police fired multiple rounds of tear gas, […]

Armed men kill ex councillor, four others in midnight attack on Benue community

Armed men have killed a former councillor and four other people in a midnight attack on a farming community in Gwer West Local Government Area of Benue State. The incident happened in the early hours of Monday when the gunmen stormed the area, shooting sporadically and forcing residents to flee into nearby bushes.​ Local sources identified the ex councillor as Iorhen Iorbue, a prominent community figure. Three men and one woman were also killed, while four other people were reportedly abducted during the assault.​ The attackers, suspected to be armed herders, also burnt several houses and looted food items and valuables. Community leaders say the latest killings are part of recurring attacks that have left many villagers displaced and afraid to return to their farms.​ A community leader, Terngu Akerigba, described the situation as “unbearable,” accusing the attackers of trying […]

Gazans fear new displacement after Israeli strikes

Residents of southern Gaza say they fear being pushed from their homes again after new Israeli strikes hit neighbourhoods near a demarcation known as the Yellow Line. The line, east of Khan Yunis, was created under a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas and marks an area where Israeli troops still control movement through checkpoints.​ Tens of thousands of Gazans still live in tents or damaged houses in communities close to the Yellow Line more than two years into the war. Many now worry that continued bombardment is an attempt to force them to move westward into already overcrowded camps where food, water and basic supplies are scarce.​ “We do not sleep at night because of fear. The bombardments in the east are relentless,” said Umm Ahmed, a 40 year old mother from Bani Suheila whose home was destroyed earlier […]

Cambodia Says Thailand Still Bombing Despite Trump Ceasefire Claim

Cambodia’s Ministry of Defence says Thailand is still carrying out air strikes inside its territory, contradicting a ceasefire announcement made by US President Donald Trump. The statement comes amid an ongoing flare up in a long running border dispute between the two neighbours.​ According to the ministry, Thai forces deployed two F 16 fighter jets on Saturday to drop seven bombs on several locations in Cambodian territory. Officials said the strikes hit areas including hotels and bridges in the Thmor Da region of Pursat province, which borders Thailand.​ Local outlet Khmer Times, citing Cambodia’s Ministry of Information, reported that two hotels and casino structures suffered heavy damage in the attacks. Cambodian authorities said the bombings prove that Thai forces “have not yet ceased their bombing and are still conducting attacks”.​ These claims emerged only hours after President Trump said Thailand […]

Asia floods death toll passes 1,200

Severe monsoon floods sweeping across several Asian countries have killed more than 1,200 people and forced millions from their homes, as rescue teams struggle to reach many isolated communities.​ Days of relentless rain have triggered rivers to overflow, landslides to cut off key roads and villages, and widespread destruction of homes, farms, and basic infrastructure.​ India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and parts of Southeast Asia are among the worst‑hit, with authorities reporting rising casualty figures as more bodies are recovered and remote areas become accessible.​ Rescue workers, soldiers, and volunteers are using boats and helicopters to evacuate stranded residents, deliver food, clean water, and medical supplies, and move survivors into crowded temporary shelters.​ Governments and international agencies have warned of heightened risks of waterborne diseases, hunger, and further displacement, calling for urgent humanitarian support and longer‑term investment in climate resilience and […]

 Catholic leaders decry herdsmen violence in Taraba

Catholic priests and community groups in Southern Taraba State have raised the alarm over renewed violence and killings allegedly perpetrated by armed herdsmen across multiple communities under the Catholic Diocese of Wukari. Rev. Fr. John Laikel, Director of Social Communications for the diocese, described the situation as “devastating,” noting many rural parishes have been abandoned after sustained assaults that have claimed lives and destroyed villages. “It is disheartening that attacks on innocent citizens keep happening despite government promises to stop the killings,” he said, highlighting a pattern he believes is aimed at seizing communities for grazing. Victims are often returnees who had only recent resettled. Laikel alleged that herdsmen not only kill and burn down homes but also graze cattle on victims’ farmlands and occupy deserted settlements. He called on federal, state, and local authorities to protect lives and property, […]

ICRC: Over 23,000 People Still Missing in Nigeria

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says more than 23,659 people remain missing in Nigeria, leaving at least 13,595 families in distress, most of them women bearing the weight of uncertainty and hardship. This was disclosed on Sunday by Ishaku Luka, Protection of Family Links Team Leader of the ICRC in Damaturu, during activities to mark the International Day of the Disappeared. According to Luka, 68 per cent of those still searching for answers are women, while 59 per cent of the missing were minors at the time of their disappearance. Yobe State alone accounts for about 2,500 cases, the majority from Gujba Local Government Area. “Behind every missing person is a family living in pain, uncertainty, and economic difficulty. The anguish is compounded by legal, administrative, and psychosocial challenges. These families deserve acknowledgement, care and support,” Luka […]

Over 200 Flee Nkwanta Amid Renewed Violence.

Around 200 residents have fled Nkwanta, the capital of the Nkwanta South Municipality, to nearby safe areas like Pampawie and Ahamansu in the Kadjebi District following violent clashes. These areas, which border Nkwanta, have become refuges for those escaping the violence. Eyewitnesses claim the conflict began during a funeral when armed men attacked the gathering. Seven people have been killed, and several properties, including homes and shops, have been destroyed. The military and police have been deployed, patrolling the deserted streets, while displaced individuals continue to seek safety.
